SEA SaaS Tracker: Canva, HubSpot, and Lark Updates

Daily changelog: HubSpot renamed Commerce Hub to Revenue Hub on 2026-06-16 and added per-feature AI credit limits, Lark shipped HTML upload in Docs (v7.71, 2026-07) after Malaysia retail wins, and Canva's Create 2026 AI 2.0 launch details.

No subscription-tier price change was confirmed at Canva, HubSpot or Lark inside the window; what shipped was scope. HubSpot renamed Commerce Hub to Revenue Hub on 16 June 2026, expanding from billing and payments into full quote-to-cash with CPQ quoting, contracts, subscription billing, invoicing, automated tax calculation and buy-now-pay-later — which reads like scope creep wearing a rebrand if your finance team already reconciles invoicing elsewhere. The genuinely useful June release is per-feature AI credit limits, now in public beta across all Hubs and tiers, so an ops lead can finally see that the filing agent burned 4,000 credits before the Customer Agent opened a ticket; credits hold at USD 10 per 1,000. Canva's April Create 2026 keynote opened Code 2.0 to free accounts. Lark won myNEWS Holdings across five Malaysian retail brands.

If you're running a 10-person agency in Bangkok and paying for Canva, HubSpot, and Lark out of the same budget, you've probably stopped reading full changelogs. You scan for the one line that changes your invoice. Tracking window: 2026-05-28 to 2026-07-29. Three tools checked this cycle: Canva, HubSpot, Lark. No subscription-tier price deltas confirmed for any of the three inside this window - see the coverage note for the one pricing change found outside it.

Canva

  • 2026-02-05: Canva integrated Brand Kits directly into ChatGPT and Claude, letting on-brand designs generate inside those assistants using a user's saved fonts, colors, and style rules. (Predates this window; included for continuity.)
  • 2026-04-16: Canva Create 2026 keynote (SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles). Announcements included:
    • Canva AI 2.0 - conversational design, iterative agentic editing, layered object intelligence, and a persistent "living memory" of a user's style, plus six new AI workflows.
    • Canva Code 2.0 - AI website/app builder from text prompts, opened to all account tiers including free accounts (previously more restricted).
    • Canva Offline mode, an expanded professional design suite, Learn Grid, and Print Shop.
    • Cavalry (motion graphics tool) made free for all users.
    • New Affinity integrations with Capture One, DaVinci Resolve, and Claude, plus Affinity Brand System.
    • 46+ features total announced at the event.
  • 2026-07: Multiple secondary sources (Releasebot, third-party "what's new" roundups) reference additional AI-tool and brand-control updates shipping in July. No dated, itemized primary-source changelog entry backs up the specifics, so it stays off this list.
  • No Canva Pro/Teams/Enterprise pricing changes found in this window.

Opening Code 2.0 to free accounts is the one move here that actually matters for a small Manila or Jakarta shop. Everything else from the Create 2026 keynote is nice-to-have polish on a tool most SEA teams already pay for.

HubSpot

  • 2026-04-14 (predates this window; included for context): Breeze AI Customer Agent pricing moved from $1.00 per conversation to $0.50 per resolved conversation. Prospecting Agent moved from a recurring monthly per-contact-enrolled charge to $1 per lead for outreach.
  • 2026-06-16: Commerce Hub renamed Revenue Hub, expanding scope from billing/payments into full quote-to-cash: CPQ quoting, contracts, subscription billing, invoicing, and payments, unified with Smart CRM data. Added automated tax calculation and buy-now-pay-later options. Existing Commerce Hub capabilities carried forward under the new name.
  • 2026-06 (June release): Credit usage limits can now be set per individual AI feature instead of one shared portal-wide cap. The feature is in Public Beta across all Hubs and tiers, and portal admins can see the percentage of each feature's monthly limit consumed.
  • 2026-06 (June release): Customer Agent Status property updated with structured statuses tracking where a ticket sits in the Customer-Agent-to-human handoff process.
  • 2026-06 (June release): New AI filing agent in account cleanup analyzes unfiled workflows and suggests folder organization.
  • HubSpot Credit list price held flat through this window: $10 per 1,000 standard credits, roughly THB 350 at today's rate, or about $9 per 1,000 on annual terms. Pay-as-you-go overage runs $0.010 per credit.
  • No new seat/subscription-tier price changes found inside this window (2026-05-28 to 2026-07-29).

Commerce Hub becoming Revenue Hub reads like scope creep wearing a rebrand. If your Ho Chi Minh City finance team already reconciles invoicing through a separate Vietnamese accounting tool, folding CPQ and BNPL into the same Hub just means more settings to audit before renewal. The per-feature credit caps are the genuinely useful line item. A Singapore ops lead can finally see the AI filing agent burned through 4,000 credits, roughly SGD 54, before the Customer Agent even opened a ticket.

Lark

  • 2026-05-05 (predates this window; included for context): MYDIN (Malaysia retail chain) partnered with Lark for store-operations digital transformation.
  • 2026-05-28: myNEWS Holdings Berhad (Malaysia, five retail brands - myNEWS, CU, SUPERVALUE, WHSmith, Maru Coffee) adopted Lark as its organization-wide productivity and collaboration platform. It now connects HQ, store operations, franchise partners, and joint-venture partners, with AI-powered workflows built on Lark Base.
  • 2026-07 (build 7.71, version label 2026.07): Added the ability to upload HTML files into Lark Docs to preview pages and review code directly in-document.
  • No Lark Pro/Enterprise pricing changes found in this window.

The myNEWS deal is the real story: five retail brands and their franchise partners running on one Lark instance is a bigger commercial win than anything Canva or HubSpot shipped this cycle. HTML upload in Docs is a fine engineering touch, but it won't move a single renewal decision for a Kuala Lumpur retailer choosing between Lark and a MYR 45-a-seat alternative.

Coverage note

The only confirmed dollar-amount pricing change across all three tools this cycle is HubSpot's Breeze AI Customer Agent and Prospecting Agent repricing, dated 2026-04-14 - outside the 2026-05-28 to 2026-07-29 tracking window, included above for context only. Inside the window, all three tools shipped product and scope changes rather than price changes. HubSpot renamed Commerce Hub to Revenue Hub and added per-feature AI credit controls. Lark closed a Malaysia retail enterprise win with myNEWS Holdings and shipped a July Docs HTML-upload release. Canva ran its April Create 2026 launch slate: AI 2.0, a free Code 2.0, and a free Cavalry tier. None of the three had appeared together in a prior tracker cycle before this run.

For a finance lead juggling Bangkok, Manila, and Kuala Lumpur teams on the same three-tool stack: watch the HubSpot credit meter first, since that's the line most likely to move next quarter. Canva and Lark, for now, are just adding features to the plan you already bought.
